This play reaches back to the original fairytales to tell a cautionary tale of love and magic. When Rosa and her wealthy sweetheart Tristan become engaged, she thinks her dreams have come true. Her class-obsessed future mother-in-law, however, immediately sets about sabotaging the romance with the intention of finding someone (and some dowry) suitable for her son.
